NO RACE ON THE PLANET IS QUITE LIKE THE BETFRED DERBY.

Historic. Unmatchable. Eternal. This is the birthplace of thoroughbred racing. 243 years, a different champion crowned every time. From the thrill of the hill to the iconic pageantry and sideshows sharing a stage. It’s racing’s most spectacular carnival. Two unmissable days. Friday 2 – Saturday 3 June 2023.

The Derby Festival at Epsom Downs Racecourse is for everyone, from racing royalty to racing rookie. We open our gates, arms and hearts to the world. In a way, everyone rides The Betfred Derby, being part of it, getting carried away and taking the feel good carnival spirit back home.
